Just a head's up. There are three new titles in the "Canada - Weapons of War" series by Service publications. 1935 Armoured Car, Roger Lucy; the Kangaroo in Canadian Service, Mark Tonner;The Centurion in Canadian Service, Don Dingwall.

All are in the typical format of being a bit larger than a folded letter sized page with card covers sporting a colour or colorised photo of the subject. The inside is 24 pages of text and 20-25 photos plus a centrefold drawing of the subject. Most photos are unpublished, but there are a few familiar shots in the Kangaroo book.

The Centurion book focuses strictly on Canadian service, as does the Kangaroo book while the 1935 Armoured Car book(a Canadian conversion of a commercial chassis in the Crossley/Lanchester style) covers the complete history of these unique vehicles.

Still Cdn$9.99 a piece, these modern little "profiles" are a great value.

Disclaimer: I have written two of the titles in the series but get nothing from the sale of these books, so you can discount my editorial comments as much as you like.

Paul thanks for the heads up. I have a few of these and they are nice references for modelers of Canadian vehicles.
